Australia host Brazil in a mouth-watering international friendly for fans Down Under with a huge crowd in store at the MCG on Tuesday night.

Match Preview

Australia will host Brazil in this marquee friendly clash on Tuesday, just days after the Canarinho’s clash against Argentina at the Melbourne Cricket Ground which ended in a 1-0 defeat for Tite's men.

The Socceroos will be hoping to extend their fine form after a significant World Cup qualification win over Saudi Arabia on Thursday to night to leave things in their own hands on the road to Russia 2018.

However, this will surely be a tough task for Ange Postecoglou's Socceroos side despite some of the main stars missing the fixture for Brazil.

Brazil have been in red-hot form and they came into the two games in Australia on the back of a nine-match winning streak where they’ve outclassed their rivals with two or more goals difference on all but two occasions.

Canarinho have been impressive in the final third during that time, but Argentina managed to halt that run when winning 1-0 in Friday's friendly in Melbourne.

Although Australia come in a much less consistent spell of form, we have seen them bag eight goals in their last four matches and that points to a thriller being in store to entertain the crowd.

Stats

The sides have last met back in 2013 and Australians will not be happy to remember the day, as they’ve suffered a thrashing 6-0 loss in Brasilia. Brazil have earned three wins and one draw in five head-to-head encounters, with just one loss on the record.
